Hi MariVal,
you painted such a descriptive visual image with these ten words... these fifteen words, very impressive!

Always a delight and pleasure to read a master of their craft displaying their excellence.

With our thoughts we create...
vision thorough mottled light.

Warm regards,
James.

What a great haiku, Gypsy. Your picture works wonders. Your words were serpurb by causing the action of your words. The thought of veiling her face were a surprise. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

I like your haiku poem- good picture presentation- good syllable count and flow - maybe a pause (-)
After streetlight breaks midnight veils - Good job

I am guessing the shadows and the tangled streetlights are used as metaphors in this poem. Life does gives up shadows, some are very dark. Thank you for sharing this Haiku with us. I enjoyed reading.

it looks like she's wearing a wedding dress so "veils across her face" is a perfect satori!
i also like the "tangled streetlights"

good work - thank you for sharing
shelley :)

This is a lovely haiku. I like, especially, the line "tangled with the streetlight." It carries through from "Midnight shadows" beautifully. This is very creative.

Beautiful. A shadow falls in one instant and the next, it may change.

Impressionistic artists did that with capturing light during exact moments in time. This poem reminded me of those artists I love.

Love,

Alexan

Again you are adept at mixing the senses. Just lovely. Streetlight veils. Light becomes fabric. It's a technique but it works so well in your hands. Personally I'd have 'tangle' as I always prefer the immediacy of present tense. But then again the past tense gives a sense of an event that has occurred. Hmm. X

    Thank you very much for the exceptional five stars review and kind words. I changed to tangle, it's a good suggestion.

Yes, those of us who have lived through many more seasons and some have deeper shadows in those seasons, do wear more of those telltale veils on our faces!
